(1) The term "board of education" shall mean a local or regional board of education
or the board of trustees of an incorporated or endowed high school or academy approved
pursuant to section 10-34, which is located in this state;
(2) The term "teacher" shall include each certified professional employee below
the rank of superintendent employed by a board of education for at least ninety days in
a position requiring a certificate issued by the State Board of Education;
(3) The term "continuous employment" means that time during which the teacher is
employed without any break in employment as a teacher for the same board of education;
(4) The term "full-time employment" means a teacher's employment in a position
at a salary rate of fifty per cent or more of the salary rate of such teacher in such position
if such position were full-time;
(5) The term "part-time employment" means a teacher's employment in a position
at a salary rate of less than fifty per cent of the salary rate of such teacher in such position,
if such position were full-time;
(6) The term "tenure" means:
(A) The completion of thirty school months of full-time continuous employment
for the same board of education for teachers initially hired prior to July 1, 1996; and
forty such school months for teachers initially hired on or after said date provided the
superintendent offers the teacher a contract to return for the following school year. For
purposes of calculating continuous employment towards tenure, the following shall
apply: (i) For a teacher who has not attained tenure, two school months of part-time
continuous employment by such teacher shall equal one school month of full-time continuous employment except, for a teacher employed in a part-time position at a salary
rate of less than twenty-five per cent of the salary rate of a teacher in such position, if
such position were full-time, three school months of part-time continuous employment
shall equal one school month of full-time continuous employment; (ii) a teacher who
has not attained tenure shall not count layoff time towards tenure, except that if such
teacher is reemployed by the same board of education within five calendar years of the
layoff, such teacher may count the previous continuous employment immediately prior
to the layoff towards tenure; and (iii) a teacher who has not attained tenure shall not
count authorized leave time towards tenure if such time exceeds ninety student school
days in any one school year, provided only the student school days worked that year by
such teacher shall count towards tenure and shall be computed on the basis of eighteen
student school days or the greater fraction thereof equaling one school month.
(B) For a teacher who has attained tenure prior to layoff, tenure shall resume if such
teacher is reemployed by the same board of education within five calendar years of the
layoff.
(C) Except as provided in subparagraph (B) of this subdivision, any teacher who
has attained tenure with any one board of education and whose employment with such
board ends for any reason and who is reemployed by such board or is subsequently
employed by any other board, shall attain tenure after completion of twenty school
months of continuous employment. The provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply
if, (i) prior to completion of the twentieth school month following commencement of
employment by such board, such teacher has been notified in writing that his or her
contract will not be renewed for the following school year or (ii) for a period of five or
more calendar years immediately prior to such subsequent employment, such teacher
has not been employed by any board of education.
(7) The term "school month" means any calendar month other than July or August
in which a teacher is employed as a teacher at least one-half of the student school days.
(b) Any board of education may authorize the superintendent to employ teachers.
Any superintendent not authorized to employ teachers shall submit to the board of education nominations for teachers for each of the schools in the town or towns in such superintendent's jurisdiction and, from the persons so nominated, teachers may be employed.
Such board shall accept or reject such nominations within thirty-five days from their
submission. Any such board of education may request the superintendent to submit
multiple nominations of qualified candidates, if more than one candidate is available
for nomination, for any supervisory or administrative position, in which case the superintendent shall submit such a list and may place the candidates on such list in the order
in which such superintendent recommends such candidates. If such board rejects such
nominations, the superintendent shall submit to such board other nominations and such
board may employ teachers from the persons so nominated and shall accept or reject
such nominations within one month from their submission. Whenever a superintendent
offers a teacher who has not attained tenure a contract to return for another year of
employment, such offer shall be based on records of evaluations pursuant to subsection
(a) of section 10-151b. The contract of employment of a teacher shall be in writing.
(c) The contract of employment of a teacher who has not attained tenure may be
terminated at any time for any of the reasons enumerated in subdivisions (1) to (6),
inclusive, of subsection (d) of this section; otherwise the contract of such teacher shall
be continued into the next school year unless such teacher receives written notice by
April first in one school year that such contract will not be renewed for the following
year. Upon the teacher's written request, a notice of nonrenewal or termination shall be
supplemented within seven days after receipt of the request by a statement of the reason
or reasons for such nonrenewal or termination. Such teacher, upon written request filed
with the board of education within twenty days after the receipt of notice of termination,
or nonrenewal shall be entitled to a hearing, except as provided in this subsection, (A)
before the board, (B) if indicated in such request and if designated by the board, before
an impartial hearing panel established and conducted in accordance with the provisions
of subsection (d) of this section, or (C) if the parties mutually agree before a single
impartial hearing officer chosen by the teacher and the superintendent in accordance
with the provisions of subsection (d) of this section. Such hearing shall commence within
fifteen days after receipt of such request unless the parties mutually agree to an extension
not to exceed fifteen days. The impartial hearing panel or officer or a subcommittee of
the board of education, if the board of education designates a subcommittee of three or
more board members to conduct hearings, shall submit written findings and recommendations to the board for final disposition. The teacher shall have the right to appear with
counsel of the teacher's choice at the hearing. A teacher who has not attained tenure
shall not be entitled to a hearing concerning nonrenewal if the reason for such nonrenewal
is either elimination of position or loss of position to another teacher. The board of
education shall rescind a nonrenewal decision only if the board finds such decision to be
arbitrary and capricious. Any such teacher whose contract is terminated for the reasons
enumerated in subdivisions (3) and (4) of subsection (d) of this section shall have the
right to appeal in accordance with the provisions of subsection (e) of this section.
(d) The contract of employment of a teacher who has attained tenure shall be continued from school year to school year, except that it may be terminated at any time for
one or more of the following reasons: (1) Inefficiency or incompetence, provided, if a
teacher is notified on or after July 1, 2000, that termination is under consideration due
to incompetence, the determination of incompetence is based on evaluation of the teacher
using teacher evaluation guidelines established pursuant to section 10-151b; (2) insubordination against reasonable rules of the board of education; (3) moral misconduct; (4)
disability, as shown by competent medical evidence; (5) elimination of the position to
which the teacher was appointed or loss of a position to another teacher, if no other
position exists to which such teacher may be appointed if qualified, provided such
teacher, if qualified, shall be appointed to a position held by a teacher who has not
attained tenure, and provided further that determination of the individual contract or
contracts of employment to be terminated shall be made in accordance with either (A) a
provision for a layoff procedure agreed upon by the board of education and the exclusive
employees' representative organization, or (B) in the absence of such agreement, a
written policy of the board of education; or (6) other due and sufficient cause. Nothing
in this section or in any other section of the general statutes or of any special act shall
preclude a board of education from making an agreement with an exclusive bargaining
representative which contains a recall provision. Prior to terminating a contract, the
superintendent shall give the teacher concerned a written notice that termination of such
teacher's contract is under consideration and, upon written request filed by such teacher
with the superintendent, within seven days after receipt of such notice, shall within the
next succeeding seven days give such teacher a statement in writing of the reasons
therefor. Within twenty days after receipt of written notice by the superintendent that
contract termination is under consideration, such teacher may file with the local or
regional board of education a written request for a hearing. A board of education may
designate a subcommittee of three or more board members to conduct hearings and
submit written findings and recommendations to the board for final disposition in the
case of teachers whose contracts are terminated. Such hearing shall commence within
fifteen days after receipt of such request, unless the parties mutually agree to an extension, not to exceed fifteen days (A) before the board of education or a subcommittee of
the board, (B) if indicated in such request or if designated by the board before an impartial
hearing panel, or (C) if the parties mutually agree, before a single impartial hearing
officer chosen by the teacher and the superintendent. If the parties are unable to agree
upon the choice of a hearing officer within five days after their decision to use a hearing
officer, the hearing shall be held before the board or panel, as the case may be. The
impartial hearing panel shall consist of three members appointed as follows: The superintendent shall appoint one panel member, the teacher shall appoint one panel member,
and those two panel members shall choose a third, who shall serve as chairperson. If
the two panel members are unable to agree upon the choice of a third panel member
within five days after the decision to use a hearing panel, the third panel member shall be
selected with the assistance of the American Arbitration Association using its expedited
selection process and in accordance with its rules for selection of a neutral arbitrator in
grievance arbitration. If the third panel member is not selected with the assistance of
such association within five days, the hearing shall be held before the board of education
or a subcommittee of the board. Within seventy-five days after receipt of the request
for a hearing, the impartial hearing panel, subcommittee of the board or hearing officer,
unless the parties mutually agree to an extension not to exceed fifteen days, shall submit
written findings and a recommendation to the board of education as to the disposition
of the charges against the teacher and shall send a copy of such findings and recommendation to the teacher. The board of education shall give the teacher concerned its written
decision within fifteen days of receipt of the written recommendation of the impartial
hearing panel, subcommittee or hearing officer. Each party shall pay the fee of the panel
member selected by it and shall share equally the fee of the third panel member or
hearing officer and all other costs incidental to the hearing. If the hearing is before the
board of education, the board shall render its decision within fifteen days after the close
of such hearing and shall send a copy of its decision to the teacher. The hearing shall
be public if the teacher so requests or the board, subcommittee, hearing officer or panel
so designates. The teacher concerned shall have the right to appear with counsel at the
hearing, whether public or private. A copy of a transcript of the proceedings of the
hearing shall be furnished by the board of education, upon written request by the teacher
within fifteen days after the board's decision, provided the teacher shall assume the
cost of any such copy. Nothing herein contained shall deprive a board of education or
superintendent of the power to suspend a teacher from duty immediately when serious
misconduct is charged without prejudice to the rights of the teacher as otherwise provided in this section.
(e) Any teacher aggrieved by the decision of a board of education after a hearing
as provided in subsection (d) of this section may appeal therefrom, within thirty days
of such decision, to the Superior Court. Such appeal shall be made returnable to said
court in the same manner as is prescribed for civil actions brought to said court. Any
such appeal shall be a privileged case to be heard by the court as soon after the return
day as is practicable. The board of education shall file with the court a copy of the
complete transcript of the proceedings of the hearing and the minutes of board of education meetings relating to such termination, including the vote of the board on the termination, together with such other documents, or certified copies thereof, as shall constitute
the record of the case. The court, upon such appeal, shall review the proceedings of such
hearing. The court, upon such appeal and hearing thereon, may affirm or reverse the
decision appealed from in accordance with subsection (j) of section 4-183. Costs shall
not be allowed against the board of education unless it appears to the court that it acted
with gross negligence or in bad faith or with malice in making the decision appealed
from.
